Here's my new blingy full custom GT, tweaked a little! It came to me via elpedro666 as a 'money-pit' frame only. With it’s rim brake bosses hacked off... so I accidentally gave it the works! 
To be fair though, all the parts are used (not including decals, headset, chain, cassette, brake pads, grips, cables and a few bolts) or were either handed down from my old Marin fs - so the final cost wasn't too bad at all... the suspension post is a controversial choice, but it works really well in adding a bit of comfort to the stiff-as-a-post frame! I've had a fair few frames powdercoated for friends so I thought it was high time I built one up for me! Bit hefty, but it's a big 20" c-t size and pretty bombproof...
